Welcome

As a fully independent advisory firm, we provide financial planning and portfolio management services in the purest sense. And because we are "fee-only," our objectivity is not tested by the lure of commissions or referral fees.

While advisors who market financial products must adhere to certain product suitability standards, we are held to a fiduciary standard across all aspects of the advisory relationship. In short, we are required to place the interests of our clients ahead of our own in all instances.

The information contained herein has been obtained from sources
believed to be reliable, but the accuracy of the information
cannot be guaranteed. Third-party rankings and recognition from rating services
or publications is no guarantee of future investment success and that working
with a highly rated adviser does not ensure that you will experience
a higher level of performance or results.
Wessel Investment Counsel, L.L.C. does business only in those states
in which it is properly registered. All investments have the potential
to generate profits or losses. Past performance of any particular investment
neither guarantees nor implies its future performance.

The Paladin Registry

Paladin provides independent evaluations of financial advisors based on their credentials, ethics, and business practices.

Of the approximately 30,000 advisors Paladin has reviewed since 2004, only about 7% of them have received a 5-Star rating. The remaining 93% are turned away.

Paladin says, "The best certifications are the ones that required a lot of work and included a comprehensive examination to make sure the advisor´s acquired knowledge will help them do a better job for you. Four certifications and designations that stand-out are: CFA®, CFP®, CPA/PFS, and CIMA®."

(Please be aware that third-party ratings such as the 5-Star rating Glenn Wessel has received from the Paladin Registry cannot necessarily ensure future investment success or a higher level of investment performance.)
